The Mazhilis, the lower
house of the Kazakh Parliament, has summarized the results of its fourth
session of the eighth convocation. According to Mazhilis Chairman Yerlan
Koshanov, the Chamber considered 190 bills, with every third bill developed at
the initiative of MPs. As a result, the President signed 110 laws, including
the Digital Code and the Law on Artificial Intelligence, which lay the
foundation for large-scale transformations across various sectors of the
country.
«The
current session has been one of the most significant in the modern history of
Kazakhstan’s Parliament. As the President noted, from July 1, Kazakhstan is
entering a new era. To implement the new Constitution, updated laws on the
President, the Status of the Capital, and the Administrative-Territorial
Structure were adopted, along with new laws on the Kurultai and the Status of
its Deputies, and the Kazakhstan Khalyk Kenesi. As a result, the full
legislative framework required for the new Constitution to come into force has
been established within the set timeframe,» Koshanov said.
At the Senate’s final session, Chairman Maulen Ashimbayev reviewed the
Senate’s work over three decades. Over that period, the upper house held nearly
900 sessions and adopted more than 3,500 laws, with every tenth bill initiated
by MPs. The two chambers will officially conclude their work in their current
format on June 30. Under the new Constitution, Parliament will be restructured
as a Kurultai following the elections.
«In
addition to its legislative work, the Chamber held meetings and events in
various formats, addressing key issues important for the country’s development.
Around 3,000 parliamentary inquiries were submitted to the Government.
Throughout this work, senators consistently acted in the interests of the
people and followed a state-focused approach,» Ashimbayev said.
